VOTE

Next week I look forward to hearing that The Honourable Mrs. Kamla Persad-Bissessar is our new (and first female) Prime Minister.

Extract from Kamla's speech in Tobago: "Tonight, I want to remind you that to make a difference you have to vote. And to those of you who have not yet decided, all I ask is that when you mark the X, vote your hopes, not your fears and think of your children and grandchildren. They can’t vote yet but they will inherit this country one day and it’s up to us what they inherit."

(The below info was received via an email this morning. If you are eligible to vote, please note).
